Woodcroft is a small, quiet settlement tucked into the wooded landscape of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England. Set among ancient oak and mixed woodland, the area feels rural and bucolic, with narrow lanes, stone cottages and easy access to walking and cycling routes that attract locals and visitors keen on wildlife and outdoor pursuits.
Like much of the Forest of Dean, Woodcroft bears the imprint of historic industries such as timber, ironworking and small‑scale coal mining, and the wider area retains distinctive commoners' rights and traditions (notably the Free Miners). Today the local economy is a mix of farming, tourism and commuting, and the community tends to be close‑knit with a quiet, traditionally rural social life.
